COLVIBNED CURTAN. AND DRAE'ERY.

Application filed September 3, 19%.

This invention relates in general to hangings and more particularly to acombined curtain and drapery designed for use on windows or the like.

The object of my invention is the provision of a combined curtain anddrapery wherein the curtain and the drapery are constituted of thedifferent materials best suited to their respective purposes and yet areso organized that both the curtain and the drapery have a pleasing andgraceful hang and the two produce a rich decorative effect.

A further object of my invention is the provision of a combined curtainand drapery of the character specified and having the advantages andcapacities hereinabove mentioned and which is adapted to be made upeasily and comparatively inexpensively, the maximun'i of drapery elfeot.being` possible with economy in the use of materials.

Other objects and advantages reside in the certain novel features of theconstruction, arrangement and combination and particulars, which will behereinafter more fully described and particularly pointed out in theappended claim, reference being` had tothe acconipanying drawingsforming a part this specification and in which:

Fig. 1 is a view in elevation showing one en'lbodiment of my invention.

y F ig. 2 is a view thereof in vertical section taken approximately online 2 2 of Fig. 1.

Fig. 3 is a view in horizontal section taken on line 3 3 of Fig. 1.

Fig. 4 is a view similar to Fig. 3, but showing a slightly differentform of the invention.

Fig. 5 is a view in elevation of another embodiment of the invention.

Fig. (iis a view in vertical section of line 6 6 of Fig. 5, and

F 7 is a view in horizontal section on line 7 7 of Fig. 5.

Referring to the drawings, wherein for the salie of illustration isshown the preferred e1nbodiments of the invention, and more particularlyto F igs. 1 to 3, inclusive, the numeral 10 designates a main curtainpanel which may be made of lace material or silk lace material. In fact,the curtain may be made of any ordinary curtain material and the usualcharacteristics of suoli materials are that they are of light-weight andare more or less reticulated or porous so as not to shut out light andair. At its lower end the main panel 10 may be provided with a fringe11. Obviously, one or more panels 10 may be pro- Seral T50. 235,553.

is provided and may be made up of damask material, velour, plush ortapestry in different stylcs, colors, patterns and shades. In fact, theoverdrape may be made of any suitable drapery material which isdecorative and which is usually relatively heavy. As shown in Figs. 1 3the overdrape proper is relatively short and its upper mar nal edge isstitched or otherwise suitably fastened to the upper edge of the curtainpanel 10, as illustrated 13. provided at each side with a depending eX-tension 11i, the extensions being locrted at the sides of the curtainand extending as far down the same as may be preferred. The eX- tensions11i may be formed separately from the overdrape 12 or may be formedintegral therewith as desired, and the upper ends only of the these'extensions may be fastened or stitched to the curtain panel 10, asshown in F igs. 1 and 3, er the outer side edges of the extensions11imay also be stitched as at 15 to the main curtain panel 10, asillust-rated in Fig. d. The overdrapc 12 and extensions 14 may also beconnected to the curtain 10 by a second horizontal line of stitchingindicated at 13, if desired.

In the embodiment of the invention illustrated in Figs. 5, G and 7, theextensions 14- are omitted and the combined curtain and drapery simplycomprises a main curtain panel 16, which is similar to the curtain panel10 shown in Figs. 1 1-, and an overdrape 17 which is similar to theovcrdrape 12 illustrated in F 1-2 and hereinabove de` scribed.

ils in lthe embodiment of the invention previously described, the uppermarginal edge of the o'verdrape is stitched or suitably fastened to themarginal edge of the main curtain panel 16, the stitching beingdesignated 100 at i8 in Fie'. 5.

ln all embodiments of the invention there other and tend to git/*e thecombined curtain 110 and drapery a graceful and pleasing hang. Moreover,the balance thus given to the hang- The overdrape 12 may be 70 Byproviding a ing makes it Very easy to support Without subjecting any olthe parts thereof to undue stress or to any torees liable to impair thehang oi the combined Curtain or drapery or to tear or otherwise injureits parts. By forming the overdrape of a separate piece and stitchingl'the upper portion to the upper end of the curtain, it is permissible touse the different materials best suited to the respective purposes ofthe eurtain and drapery. The eombinod Curtain and drapery may be easilymade up and as easily hung. Ol course, any suitable means may beemployed i'ior supporting the hangingl in position on the window or thelike, a light Curtain pole or rod and suitable curtain pins beingadaptable for this purpose.

ln sewing` the upper edge of the overdrape to the eurtain panel, theinside of the overdrape is laid 'laee up with the inside of the curtainpanel and theupper edges are stitched together, following' which theoverdrapeis 'folded back against the inside of the curtain panel so asto present the outside of the overdrape to the interior-.of the room.This arrai'igement has the advantage el' concealing the stitchingemployed to fasten the overdrape te the Curtain panel.

1While I have herein shown and described several embodiinents oit myinvention, it is to be understood that various changes in size, form,construction and ar angen'ient of the parts may be made Withoutdeparting;l from the spirit et the invention or the scope of thesubjoined Claim.
